Somerset cricket captain Marcus Trescothick was bowled over by the outstanding value on offer with Dartmouth Golf & Country Club's summer golf-break packages.

The former England captain recently visited the south Devon resort and was astounded that throughout summer golfers can get a two-night break with unlimited golf for as little as £155 per person.

Trescothick said: "Dartmouth Golf & Country Club is a fantastic course and one of the finest I've ever played.

"There's so much on offer in the area; it's the ideal place to come for a few days. And the fact you can get unlimited golf for such low prices is unbelievable - it can't be beaten."

The two-night, three-day packages start from just £155 per person and include bed-and-breakfast accommodation; a two-course evening meal; three rounds of golf on the Championship course and unlimited access to the nine-hole Dartmouth layout.

Those seeking a shorter break can still enjoy unlimited golf with one night's bed and breakfast available for just £99 per person.

Situated in 225 acres of south Devon countryside, just outside the beautiful town of Dartmouth , the resort boasts 27 holes of golf with the 18 hole Championship Course and nine-hole Dartmouth Course complementing each other nicely.

Previously ranked in the top 80 courses in the UK and Ireland by Golf Monthly the Championship Course was designed to challenge the most proficient golfer, with strategic positioning of tees, meandering streams, 12 water features and undulating greens. But while it makes the better players think, it is not so punitive as to spoil a round for high-handicappers and provides an excellent and enjoyable challenge to golfers of all abilities.

Although only a nine-hole layout, the Dartmouth is built to the same high standards as its sister course. Measuring 2,252 yards with a par of 33, it is guaranteed to test players while they enjoy a more relaxed round.

In addition to golf the resort also boasts first-class leisure facilities, with an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and spa to which all guests can enjoy complimentary access.
